My family and I have been attending the 12K’s of Christmas as part of our holiday tradition. And we bring our fur-babies with us and dressed up. We’ve even won third place in the pet costume contest two years in a row. It’s a good time, a great way to support local animal organizations, adopt pets and buy some goodies. In 2017, I ran the 6K and the course was OK. It’s mainly a dirt path and we had to run across a couple of major streets. Since then, we just do the Sled Walk and enjoy the scenery. It’s quite an event for the community, animal lovers and runners.
